One evening, a bull was grazing with his friends near a forest. When the sun set, his friends called out to him to go home. But the bull did not listen. When the bull stopped grazing, the moon and the stars were shining in the sky. He noticed a pair of eyes looking at him from a distance. He guessed that it must be a wild animal. He began running. Then he heard the roar of a lion. The bull ran fast, with the lion at his heels. Then he reached a farmyard well lit with fire torches. He jumped over the fence and landed in a goat’s pen. The goat did not like this and began hitting the bull with his horns again and again. The bull said, “Friend, a lion was chasing me. I will go away when he leaves.” One should not approach mean people for help.
